Researched a little more. It's not all, but in these cases, a test is likely going to be ordered:
• Drop in deliveries;
• No prenatal care;
• Placental abruption;
• Premature birth or labor;
• Physical signs of substance use;
• Self-reported substance use;
• Maternal history of substance use; and
• Previous positive test.

I applaud the reasoning behind attempting to identify babies born into potentially dangerous/neglectful situations, but testing every single one really seems excessive.

Yeah, I was off the mark, it seems.
